Radical Islamist students have shot dead a Pakistani soldier in clashes outside a rebellious mosque in the capital, Islamabad, officials say.
The clashes injured several others with many students hurt by police tear gas.

Firing by both sides is continuing. Security forces have now taken up positions around the mosque.

Armed students and clerics at the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) have openly defied the authorities for months in their campaign for Islamic Sharia law.

Injured

The BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan who is outside the mosque says sporadic shooting by both sides can still be heard, several hours after gunfire first broke out.

He says regular police and paramilitary units ringing the mosque compound have now been replaced by what appear to be special forces. Ambulances and journalists have been told to move further away.

Dozens of students - mostly armed with sticks and petrol bombs, but some with guns and wearing masks - are patrolling around the mosque.

The authorities have been stopping and checking ambulances ferrying the wounded from the mosque to hospital.

Uninjured students were detained. In one instance, a student escaped arrest, narrowly dodging bullets fired at him by security personnel.

The death of the paramilitary soldier is believed to be the first casualty in the stand-off between the authorities and the students.

"I can confirm that one of our troopers has been killed in the firing from inside the mosque," a senior paramilitary official, Masha Allah, told reporters outside the Lal Masjid.

Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao said later that the man had died of his injuries in hospital.

At least one policeman is also reported to have been wounded.

The students say scores of people from the mosque have been affected by the tear gas, with two in a serious condition. One has bullet wounds, the students say.

Doctors at a nearby hospital confirmed they were treating about 60 people suffering the effects of tear gas, the Associated Press news agency reported. Several students had bullet wounds, doctors said.

Kidnappings

There are two religious schools (madrassas) attached to the mosque, one for men, one for women.

The trouble started when a group of female students came out in large numbers and the paramilitary police used tear gas against them.

Extra police had been deployed around the mosque earlier in the day.

An official said the move was to prevent the seminary students from taking the law into their own hands.

Mosque leaders say the security forces started the trouble by erecting barricades near the mosque.

The Lal Masjid and its seminaries have been at the centre of a number of confrontations with the authorities. They include the kidnapping of police and people the mosque says are involved in immoral activities.

Critics have attacked the government for failing to enforce its authority in the capital.

Correspondents say the authorities seem unwilling or unable to act. President Musharraf has said security forces cannot raid the mosque for fear of reprisal suicide attacks.

Those pictures are real bad, The reason the rule of the nation as envisione by your great leader should be upheld and these kind of idiots should be brought down with an iron hand. There is no other way. The capital of a nuclear power, attacked by its own citizen's with automatic weapons for a religious revolution. Things have to change and Things have to change fast for the muslim communities and for pakistan in general.

Power to the righteous forces

The above arent civilians, they are enemy combatants of the state of pakistan.

 

[Bull]

Attacking the masjid would be politically disastorous.

 

[Adux]

Masjid is a place of worship, The moment there is fire arms and violence it is just a building then. However historical significant it is.
Like the Human Body, I am Adarsh while live, the moment I die, it is just another dead body.

 

[Bull]

Well probably they now realise what op bluestar was all about.

Call for suicide attacks issued at Pakistani mosque


ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Radical Islamists inside a mosque surrounded by Pakistani security forces issued a call over a loudspeaker on Tuesday for their followers to begin suicide bomb attacks.

Gunfire had erupted earlier following clashes between paramilitary troops and students at Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, in the capital Islamabad. One trooper was killed and two students died later from wounds.

"We had asked to stop the firing 10 minutes ago, but as the firing continues we are calling for suicide attacks," said the message broadcast from inside the mosque's compound.

These pigs have nothing to do with ISLAM.
but generals unwilling to do some thing is not good.he must must deal with these pigs with iron hand . couple of friendly fire missiles that go hey wire and take out the MAD_rasha.would be appreciated.
but this clearly shows that ZIAs puppies are incharge of ISI.and thats why nothing is happening here.

 

[Adux]

That picture of that gun men reminds me of the Golden Temple in 82. Masjid is stocked with weapons just like golden temple, that is evident from the pics. Its armed revolt or rather terrorist uprising against the government and ideals of pakistan. Iron hand is the only option, otherwise many more will crop up. Appeasement will only help them not the state.

 

[Bull]

Is there still a chance ofr negotiation. Im sure the killing of one soldier wud not have helped matter either.

 

[dabong1]

I still stand by what i said earlier

This Lal Masjid drama started on 8th or 9th march exactly at the same time when the reference was sent to SC. But the maulvi Bros were there since august sept 2006

Lal Majid brigade abducted chinese a day before CJ was to start his trip to Fasialabad.

And just yesterday


For the next few days Lal masjid will be the topic of discussion of every channel and newspaper rather than the fact that the reference filed by president as admitted by his legal team is false and has serious mistakes

The lastest news says that the Brothers behind the drama have fled the scene. It was always expected.

Spot on mate,its another psyop by mushy

One shouldnt negotiate with these idiots, it gives courage and encouragement to others
